Looking ahead to some priority listening this autumn in a continuing series of articles - and look new from London based Ukrainian-Polish harpist Alina Bzhezhinska to find how striking the tonality on Dorothy Ashby's Soul Vibrations lands so accessibly in the album arrangement.

Cohering meaningfully with an ensemble who rise to the occasion the album personnel includes saxophonist Tony Kofi on Joe Henderson's sprawling 'Fire' from 1974 Milestone album The Elements feat. Alice Coltrane, Ellington's 'African Flower and John Coltrane's classic protest work 'Alabama.'

Trumpeter Jay Phelps is a strong presence and highly effective on 'For Carrol' while singer Vimala Rowe solos on Mongo Santamaria classic 'Afro Blue'. Double bassist Julie Walkington and violinist/violist Ying Xue also notably figure among the personnel.

Recorded in December 2020 at the Fish Factory studio in London Bzhezhinska originals include 'Paris Sur La Toit', 'For Carrol' and the title track.

Not at all edgy but certainly a well put together celestial collection that will draw many to the spiritual jazz harp centred sound made popular in recent years by a phalanx of go-ahead new generation players inspired by Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby who in addition to Bzhezhinska include Brandee Younger recently at Ronnie's and Tori Handsley - Reflections is out on 23 September.

Alina Bzhezhinska, top, publicity shot, plays the B: Music Jazz Festival later this month. Read more
